The artwork, “High Bridge,” was created by artist Childe Hassam in 1922. It belongs to the Impressionism art movement and falls under the genre of cityscape.
In the artwork, the viewer is presented with a serene and picturesque winter scene depicting a bridge spanning a river. The bridge itself is rendered with architectural precision, while the surrounding landscape is softened by a blanket of snow. Houses dot the foreground, their roofs covered in snow, and bare trees add to the seasonal ambiance. The artist employs the characteristic brushstroke technique of Impressionism, utilizing a cool palette dominated by blues and whites, effectively conveying the tranquility and crispness of the wintry day. The play of light and shadow is delicately handled, enhancing the depth and atmosphere of the scene.
